Giant Robot Store and GR2 News
Blik party! We're part of the Blik family, and they're celebrating 5 years. They used a couple of my designs and created the Giant Robot Blik wall deals. We sell them! It's been fun, and at the same time, people have been decorating their homes with them.
Got to try pikapika last night ahead of time for the Imprint conference that GR and InterTrend are sponsoring. No, we didn’t do this one, but we did one that wasn’t as good compared, but it’s fun. You might notice that their work is like that Sprint commercial. These guys did it before them and were pretty much ripped off. Takeshi, one of the pikapika kids does animation and teaches it at a school in Osaka. Here’s what we made.

I watched a bit of the street skating part of the X Games. It’s pretty neat, but the part that sort of stinks is that these dudes at times, miss maybe 80% of their tricks, maybe more. The course may be tough, who knows, but it seems to lend itself to bad TV. Maybe it’s more like soccer, but we’re all too spoiled by skate videos where they’re either eating shit over and over, or making every trick. The winner seems subjective, do you pick the guy who landing 2 tricks over the guy who landed just 1? What about degree of difficulty? What if you landed none? I’m not sure how it works, after watching this, and the lack of spectators, it’s sort of a sad event. The best of the best are there, and this event seems to get the least amount of attention, yet it’s the style of skating that’s the most prevalent.
